Mark (s-h), Howdy;
I really like the looks of what you have done with that hook ... crusty looking hook soft and interesting frou-frou wrapped genteelly around it, however ...
I've looked at this hook several times and each and every time it gives me the impression that it should be hanging out of the sleeve of some Pirate's coat
ARRRRRRGGGGG me hearties.......

Hi Hank,
The hook is, again, a vintage Mustad given to me by a friend. Even though they are a bit "crusty", they have a somewhat classic look to them and are rustically appealing. This fly could easily be duplicated on a Daiichi 1640 in size 14 or smaller.

Howdy All;
Judging from the comments it might be a good idea for anyone that really wants to aquire the hooks to communicate their desire.....
Can not see anyone having to pay more than they should by having a Forum-mate bumping the bid up and both (or more),
getting into a bidding war. Declair your interest and join forces.....
, split the cost .......
just sayin'..........
